Trump Says He Will Sue Trevor Noah Over Epstein Joke at Grammys

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday sharply criticized South African comedian Trevor Noah and threatened legal action over jokes made during the Grammy Awards ceremony.

Noah, hosting Sunday night’s event, joked about Trump’s past association with financier Jeffrey Epstein while introducing the Song of the Year award.

Trump later responded on social media, calling Noah “pathetic” and said the remarks were false and defamatory, adding his legal team was preparing action.

Epstein’s name resurfaced after previously sealed court documents were released, again drawing attention to connections between prominent political and business figures.

Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and said he had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, adding his relationship with Epstein ended around 2004.

Jeffrey Epstein, accused of trafficking and abusing underage girls, died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, officially ruled a suicide.

Trevor Noah, former host of “The Daily Show,” has frequently used political satire targeting global leaders, making his Grammy appearance widely discussed online.

The exchange highlights how entertainment events continue to intersect with politics, with celebrity remarks quickly escalating into legal and political controversies.
